I wrote the first "Motherhood Poem" last year, against the genre, against the preciousness of your regard. They are my "crunchy" motherhood poems as Lisa Pasold dubbed them. Thank you to Westerly Magazine for publishing this first batch. Order the issue (hard copy or PDF) at the link in comments.

This is my abortion/miscarriage/pregnancy story. There are many fronts to be organizing on right now, but trans rights, reproductive justice, & women's health are so critical. Bodily autonomy & gender affirming care are beautiful for everyone. (📷 Laura Stevens) ndrmagarchive.org/nonfiction/2...
